In a Hurry To Fight |

Why are we always in such a hurry to fight? Why can't we sit and focus on PEACE tonight? How many PEACE plans did we bring to the table? How many PEACE initiatives did we enable? Does history not tell us WAR is futile? Does HUMANITY not care when it is brutal? Why are we always in such a hurry to fight? Have you ever seen a WAR that had PEACE as its offspring? Why can't we just try for PEACE tonight? [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (09-20-2002 11:35 PM).] |

this one certainly fits the timbre of my column that will come out next Tuesday in our twice-weekly paper. I agree, let our reps go to the table with talks of peace over war. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Have you ever seen a WAR that had PEACE as it's offspring? No. Why can't we just try for PEACE tonight? A peaceful heart? Thanks Kacy! |

Kacy, Because some men think peace is a waste of power I suppose. Good write. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

If we had peace... then what would we do with all of our good weapons? and what would happen to all of our people in the armed services? Now you see, Kacy... Larry must be right... The government is afraid that it might go to waste so they are trying to actually be economical about something... Now why can't they be as economical about energy and about the environment? These are the building blocks of civilization .... not war! Sheesh! Kacy... I was trying to get sleepy, and now you've got me on my soapbox and I'm all wound up like a chipmunk again... A great write, fellow hippiechick! hugs from a wired hippiechip Lyra copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (09-20-2002 01:59 AM).] |

Thank you, Duncan. Peaceful dreams to you. Larry, good comment! hugs to you. Lyra, hey, my dear hippiechick sister. Let's go out and carry our Make Love Not War signs again? I just hope the world leaders can sit on their guns for once, and try to find a peaceful solution. LOL at the thought of nothing for those soldiers to do. Suppose they gave a war and nobody came? I will never give up the 'fight' for Peace. |

I have often wondered this myself. There are too many other problems in the world to fight. This is a wonderful poem. |

(big hugggsssssss) The way I see it, the only reason Bush is demanding to get us into war is so he can get the Republican Party their votes and support for the 2004 Election! (sigh) This is so very wrong to me and I wish for this to be reconsidered for violence will only lead to more violence, his is powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Smart Chickadee, Linda, Vandana, Noah Thanks, for reading. I just hope that as a species we can find some way to accomplish our desired goal, of stability and world Peace, without relying on Dr.Death methods every time there is conflict. |

Kacy, ========================= I just hope the world leaders can sit on their guns for once, and try to find a peaceful solution. ========================= Were you suggesting in a suppository kind of way? If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

ROTFL Larry. Not a bad idea, really. Maybe that would be a powerful deterrent? Peace hugs to you. |
